“<br />
I’ve always had a<br />
passion for dance.<br />
Case study<br />
As a former Gateshead College student,<br />
I was inspired by my teachers and,<br />
like them, I wanted to make a difference,<br />
to teach talented young people every<br />
day, helping them to build confidence<br />
and reach their full potential.<br />
Dance and the arts are a huge<br />
part of my life, so attending dance<br />
performances with my daughter<br />
and theatre trips are a must.<br />
I also love being outdoors and<br />
spend many hours gardening.<br />
For anyone thinking about a career in<br />
dance, commitment is key!<br />
Dance is unforgiving on the body and it<br />
can be a tough industry to work in but<br />
it is also extremely rewarding and can<br />
offer fantastic opportunities. Potentially<br />
there is a lot of travelling both nationally<br />
and internationally, working for touring<br />
dance companies on cruise ships<br />
or performing in the West End.<br />
My advice? Think big, try new things<br />
and challenge yourself daily.<br />
